Instructions
 

Caramelize Onions

  • I heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. I add 1 sliced onion, cooking for 10–12 minutes, stirring often until golden for this simple recipe.

Add Garlic

  • I stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, avoiding burning for this savory beef sandwich.

Cook Beef

  • I add 1 lb ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned for this hearty weeknight meal.

Season Mixture

  • I drain excess fat, then add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp thyme, salt, and pepper. I simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors for this comforting beef dish.

Toast Buns

  • I toast 4–6 buns in an oven or toaster for crisp texture in this simple recipe.

Assemble Joes

  • I scoop beef mixture onto bun bottoms, top with 1 cup Swiss cheese, and add bun tops. I garnish with 2 tbsp parsley if using for this French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings.
